(MONONGAHELA, July 12) – Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey – responding to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraising video using images of caskets of fallen American soldiers – today released the following statement:

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week sent out a fundraising video using images of caskets of fallen American soldiers. Raising campaign cash off the deaths of our honored dead is revolting. Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel should be ashamed of themselves – and so should any Democrat who stands for this.

“Consequently, I have a new question for Jack Murtha today: Do you approve of exploiting fallen American heroes for political fundraising purposes? If not, will you join me in demanding that Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel apologize, and then insist that the DCCC forward any funds raised off this disgusting solicitation to appropriate charities?”

This one took longer to post as I needed to compose myself. Scum!

DUMP the EX-marine NOW!

[Just A Nobody]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[TNCMAXQ]

Wow! She is one tough lady. Every GOP candidate for Congress should be so bold.

I sent some $$ to the Irey campaign online. As a side note, I also sent a check to Catherine Davis, who is running against Cynthia McKinney in GA. Ms Davis sent me a handwritten note of thanks! That is a class act. Compare her to the wretched Cynthia.

"New star Murtha is worrying Dems

Asked by moderator Tim Russert about sites for redeployment, Murtha replied: ''We can go to Okinawa. . . .

Federal prosecutors designated him an unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam investigation 26 years ago. I was reminded of it after Murtha became a candidate for majority leader, not by a Republican hit man but a Democratic former colleague in the House. In a long political career, Murtha has made bitter enemies inside his party who are alarmed by his new stature.

In 1980, the FBI named him as one of eight members of Congress videotaped being offered bribes by a phony Arab sheik.

The other seven targets took cash and were convicted in federal court.

The videotape showed Murtha declining to take cash but expressing interest in further negotiations, while bragging about his political influence.

Murtha testified against the popular Rep. Frank Thompson, which created lifelong enemies in the Democratic cloakroom. The House Ethics Committee exonerated Murtha of misconduct charges by a largely party-line vote, after which the committee's special counsel resigned in protest."

[SF Republican]

Shes good.

[tioga]

I like that guy with the Twilight Zone comercial.

[jesseam]

There is no limit on how low the Rats will sink. Scum is too nice a word to describe our enemy within, the Rats.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Sean was talking about this today.

It's Sick and just makes the comlib Moonbats even more slimier.

We can dig in on Wake Island!

That video is sick. Both my Dem Senators and Dem Representative are getting calls and emails from me this afternoon.

[teenyelliott]

I'm sure this is a stupid question, and I love to out the Dems like the idiots they are just as much as anyone else, BUT...

Didn't the Dems say this same thing when Dubya had images of flag draped caskets in his commercials?

Am I wrong?

[tioga]

That's the one. His commercial is great.

[capt. norm]

I am reminded of the biblical references to the "mustard seed".

The lesson seemed to be that big things can come from extremely small beginnings. Irey's campaign seems to be a mustard seed that is sprouting and growing rapidly.

[Just A Nobody]

Thank you for supporting Diana and Ms. Davis!

It is time to clean the HOUSE!

[Just A Nobody]

She's going to beat murtha and we're all going to dance on the moon!

WooHoo! From your lips............ ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

Yes she is! I would venture to say, "we ain't seen nuthin' yet!"

[jazusamo]

I believe this is a completely different thing.

A burning, blown up HumV. Flag draped coffins in an aircraft. A rifle with helmet over it.

They are taking the anti-war stance and exploiting our dead military to raise funds for their Party, it's outrageous.

[Just A Nobody]

Scum is too nice a word to describe our enemy within

I agree, but I would like to keep my posting privileges and stay on the good side of Diana and the campaign folks. ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

Go get 'em Jaz!

[jazusamo]

Here's a new thread about that very thing, a firefighters flag draped coffin.

Oh. I didn't watch the video. : (

If there is anyone that is not on the Irey/murtha ping list that would like to be, let us know. Space is filling up fast! ;*)

[teenyelliott]

Thank you.

[Bahbah]

I needed to compose myself.

Most understandable.

[jazusamo]

You're welcome teenyelliott, I'm glad you hadn't watched the video because I know you wouldn't have said that if you had. :-)

[msnimje]

Can these people REALLY be this stupid?

[teenyelliott]

I can only assume it is as misleading and depraved as everything else they print/do/say when it comes to national defense and the war.

Not to mention everything else.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Sick bastards.

[Just A Nobody]

Clearly, they are!

[Just A Nobody]

That's a little closer to my original thoughts.

"DUMP the EX-marine NOW!"

I've heard some Marines saying he should not say he was ever a Marine. This Airman agrees with them and he can shove off. He doesn't care about out people in uniform, all he cares about is the lobbyist brother of his that fills his pockets with money because of the money he sends in his direction.

[Just A Nobody]

Exactly! Thank you for your service to our country!

[MattinNJ]

Man, she hits HARD. She is Coulteresque.

[StarCMC]

That's just freaking disgusting.

[onyx]

Yes! You are so right!

[Just A Nobody]

I like it! It's about time we started hitting back!

[onyx]

[pissant]

She's going to win this thing because as pretty a lady as she is, she's got balls.

[girlangler]

Can I get on the ping list?

I sent Irey a little money from Tennessee, and plan to be at the Gore/Murtha lovefest here Aug. 12. I also contacted Phil Valentine (conservative radio show host from Nashville who led the state's tax revolt a few years ago)today and alerted him about the meet.

Let's come out in force and show Murtha and his ilk what we Americans think about their despicable behavior.

Any suggestions on the upcoming freep of Murtha here in Tennessee? I'm bookmarking all threads with his quotes and articles about his corruptness for ideas.

[smoothsailing]

Justa freepmailed me around 6:15, she had to go out for a while. I'll make sure you're added to the ping list.:-)

[smoothsailing]

Murtha and the Dems get whacked ping*

[Sisku Hanne]

She has to hit hard. They will try to slaughter her and she is making excellent preemptive stikes. She's a hardworking fireball, that's for sure. She's got the moxie to make some real positive changes for western PA. Murtha is an old mule who needs to be put out to pasture.

[Stultis]

The add's pathetic. They had to photoshop a fake booking photo for Tom Delay! That's just sad.
